Jones RV Inspections and Repair

Jones RV Inspections and Repair is a mobile RV inspection and repair business based in Wapello, Iowa. Tony Jones comes to you, saying "I come to you, so you don't have to go to them," and covers travel trailers, fifth wheels and Class A/C motorhomes across southeastern Iowa.

He does full inspections on travel trailers, fifth wheels and Class A/C motorhomes, including fluid analysis on the Class A/C units, plus maintenance inspections. On the repair side he works on air conditioners, furnaces, water heaters and absorption refrigerators, replaces awnings and handles some exterior repairs, along with RV cleaning and wash and wax. He does not do wheel bearings, brakes, chassis, engine or frame work, or pull slide-outs, so keep that in mind if that is what is wrong with your rig.

The service fee is $75 and the hourly rate is $175, with emergency rates applying after hours and on weekends. Fluid analysis is priced by how many samples: $149 for one, up to $349 for five. Mileage and 7% tax are added to every job. Inspection pricing itself is not posted, so ask for a quote when you call. Hours run Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM, and weekends 9 AM to 5 PM, closed holidays.

Jones trained at the National RV Training Academy in Athens, Texas, and is an Army veteran. One reviewer selling a camper noted he kept the inspection unbiased, checking and reporting issues without pushing repairs on them since they were the seller. Google rates the business 4.8 stars from 26 reviews.

This is a good fit for someone in southeastern Iowa who wants a pre-sale or pre-purchase inspection done at their own site, or an owner with a fridge, furnace or AC problem who would rather not tow the rig anywhere.
